Two new recommendations for anyone interested in contemporary Irish poetry. Nuala O’Connor & Rita Ann Higgins write in a lyrical accessible way allowing you to see the world again, in wonder. Get your local library to order them & learn what real poetry is like. A puff of Oxygen to the mind.
I am once again thinking about how, aged 11, Courtney Love failed to get into the Mickey Mouse Club after choosing to recite Sylvia Plath's 'Daddy' at her audition.
